A moral victory
I've been off the site for a few weeks getting ready for a business move and for a few days of rest and relaxation in Chicago.
I knew the trip would royally screw up my diet plans. Heading to the Windy City with five other guys to take in a couple of Blackhawks games and enjoy the fine restaurants and bars would result in a weight gain.
I won't go through the entire edible itinerary, but highlights included:
- An Angus and foie gras burger with gouda cheese on a pretzel roll, and pub chips for starters
- A huge salami and Swiss cheese omelet with fried potatoes, egg bread toast and biscuits and gravy on the side
- deep dish pizza
- enough beer to drown a small horse
So when I attended my Biggest Loser weigh-in on Tuesday, I knew I'd be paying the fine. In fact, I slapped down $5 for the five pounds I expected I had brought back across the border with me.
Instead, it was a measly 2.2 pounds. Just a kilo. I'm thrilled, as I'm pretty sure I've almost dropped that since I landed and will fall below the 350-pound mark this week.
Hope things are going as well for you!
